So I said "It better not end like this" and it did, a very disappointing end but towards the finish of the movie you could see the directors panic as he struggled to find an ending so I was aware that a 'bail out' was on the cards. To be fair even I half way through the movie I thought how on Earth are they going to end this.

A unique trucker movie inasmuch as Trucker movies are usually a lot lighter this has some very dark and heavy moments which in turn keeps the viewer unsettled which is only a good thing in an action drama.

But the Director needs to look up the word 'Revenge' in a dictionary or at least ask Charles Bronson (Once upon a time in the west) how it's done.

The entire cast put in a good performance and the script and pacey direction keep things moving. JMV was great.

Plus some nice old seventies American Trucks.

A standard but enjoyable trucking flick of the mid 1970s, this makes up for in action what it lacks in scale and budget. The plot is pretty simplistic, with Jan-Michael Vincent playing a new trucker trying to organise union power with his co-workers and fight the corrupt bosses. Lots of driving, chasing, and some good old-fashioned fighting, and it's all light and harmless with it.

Jan-Michael Vincent gives his usual forthright performance as an honest Arizona trucker (named Carrol Jo!) who refuses to transport stolen goods and is blackballed by the local racketeers running the produce-hauling industry; he's forced to take a load by force, but the head honcho calls out his goons to stop him. Meanwhile, back home, Vincent's wife just found out she's pregnant... Redneck thrills for the drive-in crowd has lots of wrasslin' and gun-toting action...and, if that's not enough, there's also Slim Pickens as a slimy worm in a white cowboy hat (who does get an outlandish exit!). Director Jonathan Kaplan barrels through his and co-writer Ken Friedman's screenplay without regard to logic or credibility, but fans of trucker flicks won't mind. Good supporting cast includes Kay Lenz, Don Porter, Martin Kove and Dick Miller, but L. Q. Jones offers nothing new in his repertoire as the slow-talking baddie. *1/2 from ****
